RAX70 5G-2 SSID problem
Hi, I have noticed that in the wifi setup on the RAX70 with regards to the 5G-2 SSID. When I select the Mode 'Up to 4803 Mbps', it takes ages for the SSID to show up and you can't connect to ...
A couple things.
1.you might think you have no radar in your area but its not impossible. Its not just airports that use dfs frequencies for radar
2. Even if there isn't, it still has to scan to ensure that there isn't any. So it'll take longer using dfs channels
The RAX70 only works at 80MHZ, se picture. when i set full speed the 5G-2 (160MHZ) wont be found in the Wifiinfowiuv application or on my devices. No airport or radar nearby. My old R7800 worked on 160HZ whit DFS channels.
Edit:
I almost get the same wifi speed as i get wired from my ISP (1Gbps download and 700Mbps upload) so its faster than the r7800 router.
The only way to set 160MHZ is to set the fastest speed but it doesnt work after that.
What region is the router set in?
I notice your speedtest location is stockholm.
Yes, the region is europe, after som time it appeard in the WifiInfoview application at full speed but only in 80MHZ
Router setting:
Att full speed the router has crashed/freezed 2 times, hard reboot was the only solution. thanx for helping me to run the router in full speed.
Your 3467mbps link its showing in the picture means its not in 80hz. If it was only 80hz wide, its max speed is 2400mbps. So it makes me think its the program you're using or how its displaying it.
